The Yangtze River flood in the summer of 1998 also affected our side, our side is also the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a beautiful Changdang Lake on the edge of the town with the town, the summer rain of that year felt that Nuwa was a few days when the aunt came, unwell and did not go to work, the rain on the day has been falling down, it is also very much, especially fierce, constantly violent, it is the largest, fiercest and most continuous rainy season I have ever seen in my life.

The continuous rainy season is annoying, until the water in the river in front of the **compound has overflowed into the yard, and in the afternoon, the mayor of the town asked all the staff of our agency to build a long artificial waterproof embankment along the river in the rain, and even fish swim to the **compound

"Go to work" to grab a job. After getting home from work in the evening, I had already taken a shower and had dinner, and the fixed phone in the house suddenly rang, and the voice of Yu Xichun, the old secretary of the party committee, came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Zhao, you immediately rushed to the town to report that Changdang Lake has burst its embankment, and you want to go to flood control, come over immediately!", the urgent command on the other end of the phone, you can imagine the urgency of time, and the sense of responsibility and mission of the family when you study arose spontaneously, isn't this the hometown you want to build and defend?

I didn't care about changing my clothes, so I immediately went out without saying a word and ran to the town **, which was only 300 meters away from home.

Seeing that the leader on duty is briefly taking everyone into groups, arranging work and explaining tasks, because I can't swim, so I am assigned to move things in a group, and then take a car to the embankment mouth of Changdang Lake immediately, to the scene how can I take a bath and change new clothes, get out of the car and immediately carry the unloaded diameter of a pile of wooden eaves, all the way back and forth to the embankment mouth running fast, there is only one thought in my heart: the faster I run, the more the damage caused by the flood can be reduced; wearing rain boots to carry the wooden eaves is particularly easy to stain the sticky soil in the side farmland, not a few steps to be able to stick the rain boots as big as a football, simply take off the rain boots bare soles to carry it, but light and fast, but the hard objects on the road to the soles of the feet will still feel a little painful, but looking at the flood that broke the embankment raging and standing in the flood anxiously waiting for the wooden eaves a pair of eyes to wear, a strong sense of mission and responsibility will make you forget all the pain, the sticky soil soaked in water like sprinkled glue like slippery, careless will let you come to one

"" or

"Facing the sky" type of falling, I can't care about how much dirty muddy water I drink, and I can't care how many times I have been hit by the eaves, I got up and continued to rush forward, one by one, two by three...... Until I was exhausted and collapsed on a wet ridge on the side of the road...... After resting for 10 minutes and drinking some lightly salted boiling water, I continued to dry until after half past 10 in the evening before I barely blocked the embankment...... When I got home, I was already covered in preserved eggs, with inexplicable pain, and I had just taken a shower again, ready to fall asleep, and the phone came again: the embankment had burst again!

I had to change back into the dirty clothes like eggs and come back again

"Battlefield", in order not to affect and disturb the rest of my grandmother and parents, I changed the telephone to my own room...... That night, I tossed until almost dawn before I went home, and I crept home at four or five o'clock in the morning, and I didn't sleep all night, but I wasn't tired.

I don't know how I got over the rainy season that year, but I fought the flood almost every night, and occasionally there was a time when the levee did not break, so that later our mayor gave me permission not to go to work, to sleep at home, to rest at home, and to be on call at any time...... No matter how much pain my body is, no matter how many openings are made on the soles of my feet, a strong sense of mission and responsibility supports me, which may be the original heart in my heart!

Maybe it was because my performance was too good, or maybe it was because I gave sincerely without complaints, and after the rainy season, the mayor and several other leaders unanimously recommended that I was fully qualified to apply to join the great middle **.
